Coming Back!

Bright in a scarlet sky, a dazzling star is haloed in color. Delfina Ruiz weaves traditional Zapotec motifs, inspired by the beauty of the Oaxacan countryside. Bands of green border the handloomed accent rug.

"A bright "bright star""

The artistic design and wonderful quality of weaving in this rug is worth the purchase. It is a beautiful rug except that one color is not quite as pictured. The orange is very bright. On the web site, the orange looks more "subdued" like a dark coral, which was the main color for which I bought it.
I realize colors are not always as shown on computer monitors, but the other colors in this rug ARE as shown. It is only the orange which stands out as brighter. This is the only reason I gave it a 4 istead of a 5 star rating. I would have given it "4.5" but no way to do the 1/2 star !
I have placed it in a location other than what I had intended due to this color difference, but still do love the rug. It is a lovely quality rug.
I would order again from this artist, but I would pick my colors more neutrally next time !
Thank you, Delfina Ruiz

"This is the art my parents dedicated their lives to, and it's what I know best."

"I'm from Oaxaca where I grew up with my parents, who have been artisans for as long as I can remember. They weave Zapotec rugs and taught me to weave. I perfected the techniques through practice.

"When I was 18, I created my first piece. It was a rug sample, but I didn't start producing them myself until I had a family of my own. This is the art my parents dedicated their lives to, and it's what I know best. I've been crafting carpets now since 2004.

"I enjoy playing with my children, which is my principal occupation. They are my inspiration; they are the source of my ideas and the reason I want to continue doing what I enjoy so much. Thank you for the opportunity to be here with you in Novica."

We purchased ""Dunes"" area rug and the colors are exactly as pictured. The work and artistic design are excellent.

I ordered 'Reflections' 4x6 rug and just received it yesterday. It is beautiful and the quality is outstanding. It even came very nicely gift wrapped. If I want to purchase another Zapotec Rug I will definitely look to see what Delfina Ruiz has available first.
